silver leaf mirrors and frames

28 comments:

I have a few silver-leaf frames and love them. BTW that mirror isn't cracked it's just showing its age. Glass used to come only so big way back so they would fit two pieces in place of one and silver the backsides. It's very cool to see the age "crack" in a mirror.

I still think fondly of the two tall silver-gilt mirrors I had made to flank the fireplace in my Regency drawing room in London. You would have loved it Donna - inside, the whole house was quaker gray, with the most beautiful architectural detaining. I didn't bring them to America with me and it was a good decision - they wouldn't have fitted in my rustic cabin~

Hi Donna,I'm loving you blog, as I just bought a townhome with lovely gray walls. You're giving me lots of ideas.I thought of you when I watched Master Piece Theater's Downton Abbey. The grays in the interiors and clothing in this program are gorgeous. If you haven't seen it, you will be in for a feast for your eyes, I believe.-Eve-
